What students say about social-policy-and-administration

Best aspect is the wonderful array of societies and extra curricular activities on campus, including my personal favourite Musicality! Worst part is probably the obscene charge for student card replacements, mine was stolen and I was still asked to pay £15!

What students say about social-policy-and-administration

Swansea is a really fine place to study. The campus is absolutely stunning, right by the sea, and it feels like you're constantly surrounded by nature. The lecturers are generally good, and I've liked my courses so far. However, the weather can be a bit grim sometimes! But overall, I've am having a fantastic time at Swansea.

its great from the environment, the support system from the staff and activities held on campus, need improvement for jobs in campus would be better if for students only and the price for accommodation as high as living london.

What students say about social-policy-and-administration

Amazing overall experience but with a few caveats. Not enough support for placement students especially if they have trouble while on placement. Not enough dedication is given to the welfare and diversity/EDI sector, constantly feels like students are fighting to keep it going and the uni/union is ready to shut services down whenever possible.

Great buildings and location with great transport links to major cities. Being taught by people who are the best in that field and being able to contribute to their research at an early time in your studies. The tutorial system with very few people in classes making learning much more interactive.

What students say about social-policy-and-administration

I love my degree. The lecturers are fantastic, knowledgeable and supportive. I love my subject and the freedom this course gives me to explore it. The block learning structure makes assessments more manageable. The assessments are often really open ended, allowing for you to research and write about your interests. It's really helped me to realise exactly what career path I want to follow. Theyre always advertising internships and paid work opportunities in a variety of fields and they provide plenty of opportunities for CPD for free. They have lots of services such as the careers team and 121 library support which are fantastic. UOS isn't much of a party school- Ipswich has an awful nightlife. It's definitely a different experience to some of the bigger unis, but I've met some awesome people of all ages and backgrounds. I would recommend this course, definitely!

Plymouth Marjon University is very good for student support. The lectures all make an effort to get to know their students and offer support where they can. There is not much within walking distance of the university however the SU is a great place to sit drink and hangout with friends.

Art facilities are great and classrooms are comfortable. most staff are very good but a lot of my classes have been poorly planned and organised. having to pay for expensive software on top of tuition is also depressing.
